Tom Moore died of cardiac arrest Mar. 25, 1998, in an Episcopal home in Alhambra, Calif. He entered Princeton from Lawrenceville and majored in chemistry with first group honors. He was v.p. of Tower Club, roomed with Jack Patterson, and was a close friend of Bill Lisle while living on the West Coast in recent years.

After graduation Tom worked for Republic Steel in Chicago. In 1940 he rook a position with Rustless Iron and Steel in Baltimore. That same year he married Elizabeth Redeem, and his company moved him to California as their sales representative. For a brief period during the war Rustless loaned him to the War Production Board. When Rustless was acquired by Armco he took a job as sales representative and metallurgist with Tube Sales of Los Angeles. Subsequently he left to found his own company as a manufacturer's agent representing a number of eastern firms until his recent retirement.

The family pursued various community good works and found time for travel and other hobbies. Tom is survived by his wife, Betty, sons Thomas and Fielding, and a daughter, Anne Stevenson. To them we send our most sincere sympathy.
